Five days later.

After the previous battle, the outer city of Chaos City returned to its former tranquility.

With that local power no longer causing trouble, the new residents of the city were quite peaceful.

Although they are still mostly cautious, they are trying to integrate into the community in their own way.

After all, the only reason why refugees choose to enter the desert is either because they have no other choice or because they are confident.

This change made An Kai even more convinced that he was lucky to have acted early; if he had waited a few days, there might have been some chaos in the city.

In five days, he gained 6 attribute points through meditation.

It was evenly added to its four-dimensional attributes.

At this point, all four attributes have been upgraded to [526].

Over these five days, [Summoning] has been quite effective, yielding a total of five Tier 3 magic cores.

An Kai repeatedly praised the old woman, the goddess of fortune, and she finally opened her eyes and looked at him.

With these five, his total number of Tier 3 magic cores reached [413].

If converted to skill points, it would be 1239 skill points.

Ankai was quite satisfied with this.

Just like the previous days, Ankai was waiting for the side quests to refresh.

Since Hanks left the wilderness two days ago, the trade caravan he led has appeared in Ankai's [side story].

I waited for five minutes.

[Side Quests] Refresh regularly.

The first thing that catches the eye is that ridiculous stuff about dragons and dragon knights.

And the Mage Association's eccentric idea of ​​searching for the God of Magic.

Until the 19th side quest, Ankai suddenly paused…

"Dead?"

[19: The King of the Kingdom of Shak died in a civil war, leaving no will. At the same time, a town of the dead seems to have appeared around the royal family of the Kingdom of Shak...]

...

The capital of the Kingdom of Shak.

Donglin looked at the dilapidated capital, shook his head, chuckled softly, and left.

Behind him, a burly skeleton wearing a crown and wielding a jeweled sword followed him away.

"You, you still don't understand. Do you really think Donglin has such great abilities?"

Ultimately, it's because your own internal systems are rotten first...

"But that's fine too. Although you've lost your power, I've granted you immortality."

"It's a pity that your Shak Kingdom's ancestor disappeared many years ago; otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to make a move."

"Haha, the Seven Kingdoms are over, now it's the desert's turn~"

"Sigh, I suddenly remembered an old friend from the desert. I wonder where he's been all these years? If only I knew where he died, I could dig him up and grant him immortality..."

"He's a talented young man after all, what a pity..."

"I'm getting old, getting old. I get tired after just a few steps. Maybe it's this filthy world that's making me weary..."

Muttering to himself, Donglin, carrying the skeleton transformed from the King of the Shak Kingdom, walked into the distance…

Behind them, skeletons rose from the ground, forming a massive army that advanced in orderly fashion…

A sudden gust of wind, carrying a hazy gray aura, swept across the area.

Donglin and these skeletons vanished into the gray, raging wind…

...

An Kai never expected that Dong Lin, that old bastard, would actually bring disaster to the Kingdom of Shak.

Based on the previous actions of the King of Shak, Ankai suspected that he might have anticipated this move.

After leaving the room, Ankai wondered whether he should tell Wayne about it.

Just as he was struggling with this decision…

Wayne walked out of the room.

With a sorrowful expression on his face, he gazed at the sky for a long time.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he wept silently, his mouth agape.

After venting for a moment, Wayne looked at Ankai and asked, "Teacher, is it true that the dead can't be brought back to life?"

An Kai remained silent, unsure how to respond.

Are you suggesting I tell Wayne that not only is his father dead, but he was also very likely turned into a skeleton henchman by that bastard Donglin?

Wouldn't saying that make Wayne even more upset?

Therefore, Ankai chose to remain silent.

Wayne opened his hand, revealing a plaque bearing the unique mark of their royal family in his palm.

This plaque belongs to his father, the King of the Kingdom of Shak.

The once bright nameplate was now completely dim...

This was a harbinger of the fall of the King of Shak...

Wayne checks it every day. Yesterday morning, it was fine, but today... it's no longer emitting light.

Ankai's silence made Wayne understand the answer he already knew in his heart.

He whispered, "Teacher, I'm alright."

"I'm fine... I'm really fine..."

As she walked, she murmured to herself, as if explaining to An Kai, or perhaps to herself.

Wayne returned to his room.

He devoted himself entirely to the study of magic.

On that same day, Wayne made his decision in secret.

He not only wants to become a scholar researching magic, but also to study the knowledge of resurrection…

Watching Wayne return to his room, his behavior made Ankai's heart flutter for a fleeting second.

In Wayne, he saw something that the desert people lacked—humanity.

Unfortunately, this sliver of humanity in Wayne only touched Ankai for a second.

Seeing Wayne return to his room to study magic, Ankai was relieved.

He approached Nurnexus, who was gnawing on a bone: "Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat!"

"waste!"

After saying that, An Kai returned to his room.

Nurnexus, who was in the courtyard gnawing on a bone like a pet dog, was taken aback.

He never expected that he would be scolded for no reason just for gnawing on a bone left over from An Kai's meal...

Don't pets have any dignity?

It's a dragon!

Looking in the direction An Kai left...

"Sigh... I can't beat them..."

"By the way, boss, how did you make this? Why does this bone meal taste better than the meat I eat?"

Nurnexus muttered something, then picked up the bone and started gnawing on it...

Although Ankai has a rather volatile temper, Nurnexius is quite satisfied with his current life.

There was no need to worry about its safety, and no fellow dragons or other dragons came to mock it for not knowing magic.

In conclusion, Nurnexus was quite satisfied with his current life.

If Ankai had a better temper and treated it just a little better, it would be perfect...

"You bastard? I've never treated you well?!"

Suddenly, Nurnexus heard a loud shout from Ankai.

Ankai had just overheard its thoughts...

"How could that be! Boss is the best to me!"

Without a second thought, Nurnexus offered a free compliment, thus quelling Ankai's anger...

...

The next day.

After finishing his meditation, Ankai added the newly acquired attribute points to his [Intelligence].

【Intelligence: 527】

Just as he was about to rest in his room for a while, Malken suddenly appeared.

"People from the city have arrived."

Ankai nodded slightly, signaling Malken to continue, while he fiddled with the [Beast Meat Refining Table]...

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen this scene, Malken still felt a very unsettling sensation when he saw Ankai.

He recognized the [Beast Meat Refining Station]; it was a machine commonly used by warriors and other similar professions.

After all, these professions require a staggering amount of food every day, and the [Beast Meat Refining Station] can perfectly solve their needs...

but…

You're a mage... and a first-tier, first-level mage at that.

Using these things is a bit too much.

Malken was internally cursing, but he didn't ask the question aloud because he knew.

The answer I received after asking was: "I'm at the first level of the first rank, so what's wrong with eating a little more?"

Shaking his head slightly, Malken slowly said, "A fourth-tier mage has arrived in the city leading over a hundred humans."

"Besides that, there are also some groups heading this way from outside the city..."

"The leaders are mostly at the third or fourth rank."

"What...should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Ankai looked up at Malken.

He let out a soft sigh.

In comparison, Malcolm is far inferior to Hanks.

If it were Hanks instead of Malcolm at this moment, he wouldn't have asked, "What should we do?"

Instead, they would ask, "Should we kill it?"

This shows that Ankai believes that although Malken is strong, he still has a long way to go in terms of development…

"Keep an eye on them, and we'll talk about everything when Hanks comes back."

"Understood."

Ankai watched Malken's departing figure and sighed again...

Ankai is not going to make a move against these people.

He was worried that if he made a move now, he might alert the enemy.

Besides, there's no need to kill or beat this group of people who are coming to the city now.

They are all quite capable, so they are perfect for helping him with his work.

If the orcs and the inner city of Chaos City come knocking on his door in the future, these guys can help him resist for a while.

With this brief moment, An Kai could escape.

Of course, all of this depends on Hanks' return. If he successfully opens up trade routes, these third and fourth-tier professionals who come to his doorstep will have a place to use their skills. If Hanks fails...

Ankai shook his head, glanced at the side quest, and saw that Hanks was doing quite well and had already reached the second country.

If we maintain this pace, we'll be back soon.

...

A month later.

For nearly a month, the human forces in the desert learned that the outer city of Chaos City had been taken over by an alliance of seven kingdoms.

More and more people are flocking here.

Within this month.

Ankai didn't send anyone to manage things; as long as no major trouble occurred, he let those guys do as they pleased.

Even Polpi was warned by him: "If you don't want to die, don't show up."

Although Polpi was a beast in his previous submissions, the solutions he provided were quite reasonable.

Putting aside his animalistic side, Polpi can be considered a talented individual.

Within a month, some fools tried to enter the Evergreen Gang's territory, and now they have all become new tenants of that place where 21 members of noble families reside.

They were also among the first in the city to learn the truth.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a chance to pass on the message.

This day, there was still about half a day before Hanks' return.

Ankai learned about Hanks' schedule through the side quest.

Ankai, who was leisurely waiting for Hanks to return at the Evergreen Gang's headquarters, suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Hey! Lady Luck, that bitch, really smiled on me!"

In the next room, Wayne breathed a long sigh of relief: "Finally, it's done!"
